It can also be used for fairly extensive +hardware debugging as you can read and write to any memory addresses, +including the ETRAX100 registers. You can also perform memory checks +and dumps and copy data to flash memories.</p> +<p>The first packet (or the first 784 bytes in the case of serial boot) +sent to Etrax100 is loaded into the cache. The code in this packet is +executed and loads the rest of the boot loader into the cache. The +cache is the only thing we can be sure of exists on all ETRAX100 +products, so the boot loader is limited to the size of the cache, +8KB. If further boot loading code is needed you have to set up +external memory and load another boot loader into it, but this is +rarely needed.</p> +<p>Two programs are involved in this boot loading, one is the program on +your workstation that sends the packets to ETRAX100, this is called +the server boot loader or SBL. The other program is the one in +ETRAX100 that receives packets from the SBL and acts upon the data +therein, this is called the client boot loader or CBL.</p> +<p>We don't want to edit and recompile the CBL each time we want to load +level two to different parts of memory, like we do on different +products. We also want to change things like the setup of external +memory before we load data into it. To make the boot loading as +flexible as possible and separate the CBL from level two we send a +configuration packet to it. After this packet we load other files, if +we want to.</p> +<p>The configuration packet can contain information to the CBL which lets +you: initialize external memory, read and write to all ETRAX100 +registers, read and write to any part of memory, load as many other +files as you like to any part of memory you like, etc. The +configuration packet is generated on the fly by the SBL.</p> +<p>Since the CBL is unaware of which product it will be loaded on, it +doesn't do product specific initialization like setting up the +memory. This must be done with the configuration packet.</p> +<p> +</p> +<h2><a name="debugging_printout">Debugging printout</a></h2> +<p>When doing network boot the debugging printout from the CBL in ETRAX +is transmitted back over the network and printed by e100boot. When +doing serial boot that interface will be used. So in either case you +will not need any other software or hardware to receive the debugging +printout.</p> +<p> +</p> +<h2><a name="creating_binaries">Creating binaries</a></h2> +<p>The files containing code to be loaded on the ETRAX100 must be +stripped using the standard GCC binutils.</p> +<p> +</p> +<h2><a name="how_it_works__things_you_don_t_want_to_know_">How it works, things you don't want to know.</a></h2> +<p>ack, timeout bla, bla... RTFS.</p> +<p> +</p> +<h2><a name="compilation_and_code">Compilation and code</a></h2> +<p>Noteworthy is that two separate ETRAX100 binaries are created, one for +network boot and one for serial boot. They actually contain exactly +the same code, but linked in different order. This is because the code +to load the rest of the bootloader over a specific interface must be +contained in the first data sent to the ETRAX100 and it is too +difficult to cram the code for both interfaces in the beginning of the +same binary. Hence two files.</p> +<p>Other stuff you don't want to know is that the cache is mapped from +0x380000f0 to 0x380020f0. Code starts at the first address followed by +data up to the symbol <em>Ebss</em>. At the other end is the buffer for boot +commands (addresses defined by <em>IO_BUF_START</em> and <em>IO_BUF_END</em> below +which the stack lies and hopefully the stack and <em>Ebss</em> will never +meet...</p> +<p>The serial data is loaded from 0x380000f0 to 0x380003ff before +execution starts.</p> +<p> +</p> +<hr /> +<h1><a name="options">OPTIONS</a></h1> +<p>The options are done in the order specified on the command line, so +you probably want to do any memory setup before loading a file to the +memory, and you probably do not want to perform a memory test after +you have loaded a file to that memory.</p> +<p>All addresses and sizes must be in hex with optional '0x' prefix, or a +ETRAX100 register name. Since the <strong>--setreg</strong> and <strong>--getreg</strong> options +only can be performed on dword aligned dwords only the registers that +conform to this can be named.</p> +<p>Note also that all addresses must be in uncached memory (bit 31 set), +as the bootloader lies in the cache. If you access any uncached +address during boot, the bootloader will be destroyed without warning.</p> +<p>It is also possible to specify an address as <em>+address</em>, in which +case it is considered to be relative to <em>IO_BUF_START</em>. This is +especially useful in combination with the <strong>--loop</strong> option below.</p> +<dl> +<dt><strong><a name="item__2d_2dbaudrate_baudrate"><strong>--baudrate</strong> <em>baudrate</em></a></strong> + +<dd> +<p>Set baudrate for files loaded after the boot loader.</p> +</dd> +</li> +<dt><strong><a name="item__2d_2dbootfile_filename"><strong>--bootfile</strong> <em>filename</em></a></strong> + +<dd> +<p>Which boot image to send to ETRAX instead of the default ones.</p> +</dd> +</li> +<dt><strong><a name="item__2d_2dcmdsonly"><strong>--cmdsonly</strong></a></strong> + +<dd> +<p>Write the commands to file e100boot.cmds.</p> +</dd> +</li> +<dt><strong><a name="item__2d_2ddevboard"><strong>--devboard</strong></a></strong> + +<dd> +<p>Sets registers for the developer board.</p> +</dd> +</li> +<dt><strong><a name="item__2d_2ddevice_devicename"><strong>--device</strong> <em>devicename</em></a></strong> + +<dd> +<p>Which device to send packets on.
